Abstract:
The author focuses on the popularity of pets in American households. He notes the availability of studies which indicate the essentiality of pets to reduce blood pressure and stress, prevent heart disease and fight depression. He mentions the effort of ergonomics specialists Meghan Rogers, David Kaber and Shruti Gangakhedkar to study a small animal veterinary practice near Raleigh, North Carolina offering recommendations for veterinarians to integrate while they design their new facility.
